• Z210 and SAS HBA: those that will work?

  I have an Z210 with the processor E-1240 and 16 GB of RAM, Win7 64-bit.  I have a few hard drives SAS 15 K HP's and I want to install on this machine - but the Z210 has no integrated SAS controller. I discovered that there is an Avid Certified version of this computer, and it uses a controller LSI SAS SAS9200-8F to hang the external storage drives. LSI SAS9200 - 8 used to be available in a version of the internal interface (LSI SAS 9200-8i), but that is only apparently now deployed for IBM and there are no Windows 7 drivers.

  I want to install an INTERNAL SAS HBA. and I noticed that there is an older model, the LSI SAS3041e, which has drivers for Windows7 64-bit available. So, I think that this cheap SAS HBA could be a good candidate for my Z210.

  Has anyone any how SAS HBA in an Z210 properly installed? Specifically the SAS3041e LSA? I think that the issue could boil down to how you install drivers and access the HBA for the boot BIOS...

  DRM for your collective wisdom!

  Well, after much research, I decided that the LSI SAS3041-e (non-RAID) controller was a likely candidate. They are available on eBay for almost nothing.

  I just installed one in my Z210 and it was as easy as possible: Although the technical docs of LSI a several step process to load the drivers Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with Service Pack 1 installed, the drivers are already present in Windows 7 Pro. I plugged the controller, hooked to a pair of HP SAS 15 K disks and booted from the disc of Windows 7 HP system recovery.

  The controller immediately recognized Z210 installed the BIOS and I was off and running. Installation of Win 7 completed smoothly and when the machine finally started in a new Win 7 system, everything was fine and my two new hard drives SAS have been properly formatted and correctly recognized. You should be aware that you will need a pair of "bizarre" SATA cables to use these discs 'battleship-quality '. Cables have a conenctor unified at one end to connect the SAS drives, and the other end is a plain old SATA drive connector and a SATA power plug.

  Even if SAS 15 K drives are slightly slower than a disc of 6 GB/S SATA III, the practical speed difference is trivial, these drives have a superior quality construction regular SATA HD, I think.

• Adding adapter HBA

  I added an HBA LSI9280 adapter that is installed to a server RD 530. I already had a Raid of LSI9240 card on the system for integrated readers. I also used the LSI Mega RAID management software. I wasn't sure if it I'm missing something or do I see the new map 9280 on the server? I enclose the 9280 a new SA120, which I also do not see at this stage. Would it be possible that the new configuration is not connected correctly?

  Or is it a plugin go type installation?

  It seems that riser was the question. I changed my 4 ports NICcard and my hba... and my HBA worked perfectly... While my NETWORK card was not after slot machines. I have a new riser card on the way.

• Look at a use HBA by EM

  Hello

  I was wondering if there was a way to show the use of an HBA via Enterprise Manager. I ask because a member of our DSI complain of performance on a server. When I look at the volumes on the SAN, I see that there is a lot of activity but the latency is in the single digits. It seems so well in this perspective. I wonder if the latency may be low due to the fact that they iscsi hose is fully saturated. So, it seems that the SAN takes care of all the reads/writes with a problem but maybe that all reads/writes are not get there in time.

  Thanks in advance.

  Enterprise Manager will not show you this direct information. The best course of action to be able to see where the neck of the bottle is to I would recommend do you a house phone so that we can report on how everything is set up. So if you send an email to [email protected] one of our support technicians will be able to investigate the matter and read the newspaper and go back with the best course of action.

  Please let me know if there is anything you need.

• Two R810s, each with two 8Gb Fiber Channel HBA + MD3620F + MD1220

  Hi people.

  I am planning an installation on this end, and I'm tender hand in the hope that the community can help me carry this all together.

  To explain, I have two servers Dell PowerEdge R810, each with two 8 GB HBA Fibre Channel adapters.

  I also have a Bay SAN of Dell PowerVault MD3620F 8 Gbps, with two controllers.

  I also have a Dell PowerVault MD1220 DAS SAS Expander Bay.

  I think to connects both R810 servers directly to the MD3620F, in order to consume all ports of four CF on the MD3620F. That is, one in each controller, from two HBAs in each server. (I can do this, or do I need a Fibre Channel switch? The MD3620F has 4 available ports, 2 per controller, so it would seem to be a natural configuration for only these two servers)

  Then, I will link the MD1220 to the MD3620F, so that its readers are also accessible through the two R810s on the link of Fiber Channel 8 Gbps. (what is the process to connect a MD1220 to a MD3620F?)

  Thoughts, tips, suggestions?

  Thank you

• RAID works using MD1200 r.620 and 6 GB/s SAS HBA?

  We have a r.620 with Dell SAS HBA already in which is attached to a tape of 124 t library.

  Just got a MD1200 and I plugged in the other port on the SAS HBA.  I can see the drives in Windows Disk Manager.  I can also see Open Manage, but there is no option to use RAID functions or create virtual discs.  Should there be?

  In fact, OpenManage said "Connector 0 (no RAID)" with regard to the SAS 6 GB/s HBA.   I searched online for drivers for this card that allow RAID and can not find.  Am, I watered?   How the RAID to work on the MD1200?

  Hello wardog25,

  For the MD1200 you use a PERC card because it will allow that you create a raid array. The SAS 6hba that is used for your 124 t isn't a raid card, so you will not be able to create a raid on this map. For a MD1200, we recommend that you use a PERC H800. Here is a link to the Guide of interoperability for the MD1200 & if you look at page 2, it lists the supported raid controllers. FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/PowerVault-md1200_Reference%20Guide_en-us.PDF

  Here is a link to buy a PERC H800 if you need.

• Reference Dell 6gbps SAS HBA and Powervault TL4000

  Hello.

  We have a server Poweredge R620 with Windows 2008 R2, two Dell 6gbps SAS HBA cards installed and Simpana software backup R2 9.0.

  We also have a TL4000 with two IBM drives, all firmwares are up to date.

  Each SAS HBA card is connected to each drive in the library via a single cable SAS.

  I can see the cards in the Server Device Manager.

  The library works, but when I monitors the status of the disk in the web interface of the ilbrary, the two ports and B seem to 'not ready, not connected. "

  I tried to use Simpana to detect the library. But it cannot detect anything after dozens of tests and scenarios.

  What I am doing wrong? I can provide all of the information you want.

  Thanks in advance.

  Problem has been resolved with the help of Bestami Bayramoglu of Dell Technical Support team.

  I took some pictures of the rear of the server and the library and sent them to Bestami.

  They analyzed and was told that the SAS cards were not inserted and locked properly.

  These cables are equipped with a locking mechanism and they do not work if they are not inserted and locked properly.

  Another question for readers; SAS cards inside my server r.620 part number is j53x3. Crack of metal of this card is not compatible with my server in a rack. The correct we reference number is 3ddjt.

  Bestami told me about this and we will order correct.

  Thank you for your support.

  can someone tell me where to find the drivers to a SAS 5/e HBA, PCI Express card? Thank you.

  
  

• HBA host in vFog information

  Hello
  We have recently installed Pro 6.5 vFoglight and want to justify using this tool in the provision of access to ESXTOP. The main reason that we would use ESXTOP would study any latency of I/O by HBA on a given host.
  While vFog offers a wonderful view of this sub ' monitored hosts > vm explore ' tab in storage, information by HBA seems incomplete. Is not save or view information such as the queue, kernel latency or latency device latency (see screenshot below).
  
  I cannot find any mention in the documentation about the necessary/recommended statistics level connection vCenter and I wonder if, in order to view this information, it should be increased from 1 to ?
  Thanks in advance,
  NickB

  This shows only the ESX 4 and data hosts more later and then only with more vCenter Update 4 or vSphere vCenter 4 and above. (I can't have these quite correct, leave a note at [email protected]). Before these versions vCenter didn't recover the data from the ESX hosts and there is nothing exposed in the API to pick us up.

• SAS HBA or Raid for R905 for external storage?

  So I got a R905 used off ebay.  I wanted to use it for a storage server.  Unfortunately, the LSI SAS HBA or the Areca 1883 work in one of the 7 pci-e slots.  The cards are seen and their bios are launched and start automatic and other tests.  Two of them crash during initialization (it is not a matter of waiting a few minutes - in a trial, let him so all day while I was out).  I know that the slots are not dead, like the map 4-port gbe enet provided with it works great, just like a connection-x 2 infiniband card.  I confirmed that the bios and bmc firmware are the latest and best.  It's a kind of dell 'we do support the controllers dell' thing?  If so, I guess I agree with the purchase of a dell SAS HBA connector sff-8088 with random (since that's what jbod I want to connect using...)  Any thoughts appreciated...

  Hello.

  No Dell non-certified controllers are not validated to work properly on Dell servers. But this does not mean that may not work, it's a 50-50 chance. I recommend using certified Dell SAS HBA card such as: manufacturer: 7RJDT | Dell reference: 342-0910. Not so sure on the type of connector

• Dell R730xd with mode PERC H730 and RAID/HBA

  Hi all

  I have a new Dell R730xd with a PERC H730 card. I have six 4TB readers connected to it. It works very well in RAID mode, but the map also has support for the 'HBA' mode In other words, the card works like a basic HBA and disables the RAID functionality. When the HBA mode map software can see the disks, but they never make it through the operating system. Readers are not detected in the MESSAGE as no RAID and there is no option to convert them to no RAID.

  I talked about this through with technical support, which have been really helpful, but we can't find a solution. It seems to work on their server, but not mine.

  So I write here to see if anyone else uses this configuration, or to find out if anyone has had the same problem and maybe even resolved. Let me know!

  Thank you
  Tim.

  We had the same problem as well. I was able to solve the problem but doing a factory reset in the HBA. After the reset and reboot retype again HBA configuration and activate the HBA mode and your good.

• Select the HBA in the default Service profile

  Hello

  The hope that you could help us.  We have a system UCS running firmware 1.3 (1) and use our LAN connectivity & HBA QLogic CNAs.

  I was wondering if there was a way in the BIOS (or elsewhere) policy to allow default host bus adapters for each time assign us a Service profile, they are disabled by default.  Go into the BIOS (CTRL-Q) to the adapter.

  I've looked everywhere but cannot know where it or where the configuration may be.  Would be grateful of any idea, even if only to find out that it is not possible or is a feature request in the pipeline?

  Thank you very much

  Paul.

  Unfortunately I do not think there is a way for UCS hang theyOption ROM for the Qlogic card.

  The good news is that they can only be activated once (first time) then they will remain activated even if moved to another Blade.

  The only adatper, we are able to activate the option ROM automatically is the adapter M81KR-VIC (aka Palo).

  This may change in the future, but currently it is the only method.

  If anyone has details on what they can comment.

• How HBAS per server?

  We deploy a UCS 5108 with 8 blades. We go to the boot from SAN. I already have to HBA is configured on the service profile. I have to add HBAS to the service profile for the data store when ESX is installed?

  No, 2 vHABs are all you need. You need to add more if you need to connect with another fabric of SAN, or if your San had a lot of front-end ports (VMAX) and want ports dedicated to a specific app/server

• 6 GB/s SAS HBAS do not post on a R720

  Hey guys, so here's an interesting question that I was wondering if anyone has seen him. So we have a series of servers R720 with 6 GB/s THAT SAS HBA cards in them (2 per server). On the whole, but 1 of these servers, don't see no map us in the original POST that let's us get in and see what are the addresses of SAS. Now, the weird thing is, once we loaded the OS (tried 4.1i ESX and Windows 2008 R2), you can see the HBA without problem, but it does not help when you try to assign SAS ID to the MD3220. Is not as if these are bad cards (possibly, but that can mean that we got a few of them). There really seems to be something with how the R720 is (UEFI, perhaps?) or is not listing these cards because I don't see even in the cycle of life and the console business iDRAC7 management controller.

  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

  3 years later, ongoing execution in the same new problem and I managed to solve.

  In the BIOS, spend built-in-> Slot disability devices. The SAS cards had their defined slots on "Boot driver Disabled. I changed the "Enabled" and of course they appear in the BIOS now.

  It's funny how things are when you revisit them later.
